Frequently Asked Questions

What are the differences between the various types of absorption materials? Which one is the best?

When it comes to what insulation material you should choose when treating your space with acoustic sound absorbers, this is something a lot of folks find quite challenging. Whether you are trying to purchase from a brand or you’re looking to DIY, you will eventually find yourself at the crossroad where you have to choose which insulation material you want as your absorbing material.

What is the best acoustical fabric to use for sound treatment?

When choosing which fabric to use for DIY acoustic treatment, there are a few frequent questions that may come to mind:

• Does the fabric type affect acoustic performance?

• Can any fabric be used for sound treatment?

• What is the best fabric to use?

Here are some things to consider when selecting a suitable fabric for your acoustic panels.

The first and most important thing is 'Acoustical Transparency,' which can simply be... Read More

What is the best thickness and density to use?

Insulation materials come in various thicknesses and densities which are relative to determining the absorption rates. A difference in the thickness or density of a material will result in a difference in absorption rates at the affected frequencies.

We’ll be looking at two scenarios here. The first one is ‘Same Density, Different Thickness.’ Let's take rockwool insulation for example. Suppose you have rockwool with a density of 45kg/m3. The absorption rates will differ at certain... Read More

Can an absorber act as soundproof?

Absorbers are mainly used to dampen echoes and minimize sound energy within a room and do NOT act as sound barriers or sound proof between two separate units/apartments. If you're looking to minimize sound energy traveling between separate units, improving the insulation within the walls would be considered the best solution in this case.

However, depending on the type of problem you're trying to deal with, these panels might still make some improvements for you. For instance, if you're looking to minimize... Read More
